1.
As
used
in
this
section,
unless
the
context
otherwise
2
requires,
“rumble
strips”
means
a
series
of
rough-textured,
3
slightly
raised
or
depressed
grooves
along
the
surface
of
a
4
roadway
used
to
alert
motor
vehicle

about
upcoming
5
road
conditions,
including
an
upcoming
traffic
control
signal
6
or

Any
governmental
entity
which
exercises
jurisdiction
8
over
a
highway
under

shall

12
This
subsection
does
not
apply
if
the
highway
on
which
the
13
rumble
strips
would
be
constructed
is
unpaved,
is
inside
the

Section

subsection

shall
not
apply
to
this
Act.

EXPLANATION
19
The
inclusion
of
this
explanation
does
not
constitute
agreement
with
20
the
explanation’s
substance
by
the
members
of
the
general
assembly.
21
This
bill
requires
any
governmental
entity
which
exercises
22
jurisdiction
over
a
highway
to
construct
and
maintain
rumble
23
strips
on
certain
highways.
The
bill
defines
the
term
“rumble
24
strips”.
Under
the
bill,
rumble
strips
are
required
in
advance
25
of
all
stop
signs
and
traffic-control
signals
located
on
a
26
highway
where
the
highway
enters
or
crosses
a
primary
highway.
27
However,
rumble
strips
are
not
required
on
unpaved
highways,
28
on
highways
inside
the
limits
of
any
incorporated
city,
or
on
29
highways
with
a
speed
limit
of
less
than
55
miles
per
hour.
30
The
bill
may
include
a
state
mandate
as
defined
in
Code
31
section
25B.3.
The
bill
makes
inapplicable
Code
section
25B.2,
32
subsection
3,
which
would
relieve
a
political
subdivision
from
33
complying
with
a
state
mandate
if
funding
for
the
cost
of
34
the
state
mandate
is
not
provided
or
specified.
